Defense: Prague says SOFA radar treaty ready to finalise

The Czech-U.S. SOFA treaty (Status of Forces Agreement) that specifies conditions for the stay of U.S. troops at the planned radar base on Czech soil might be completed next week, Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg said on Sunday.

The SOFA treaty had been almost completely negotiated so it might be ready at the meeting of Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek and Defense Minister Vlasta Parkanova that will take place on Thursday, August 28, Schwarzenberg said in a TV debate.

The United States plans to build a radar base in the Czech Republic, along with an interceptor missile base in Poland, as part of its missile defense shield.
